User talk:Imshakal

Welcome!

Hello, Imshakal, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Promo Direct, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:40, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Promo Direct

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Promo Direct, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for Deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discusion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Promo Direct

The article has been restored to your user sandbox at User:Imshakal/Promo Direct. It is not ready for articlespace yet, however — please note that it is not automatically entitled to "live" in Wikipedia just because the company exists, but rather you need to significantly improve the article by adding enough reliable source coverage about the company in media to show that it passes WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:GNG. The sourcing you've shown so far is not enough to accomplish that: it needs to be the subject of substantive coverage, not just 100-word blurbs in industry trade blogs.

Firstly, if a sandbox page is ready for review, nobody's going to know that if it's just sitting there in your sandbox — you have to submit it to the review queue before anybody's going to know what you want. And secondly, it's not necessarily my job to be the reviewer just because I'm who restored the page to your userspace. What you need to do, if you want it reviewed, is to follow the directions for submitting it to the WP:AFC review queue — but I can't guarantee that it'll get looked at right away, and I don't have time to undertake an article review right now myself. Hope that helps a bit. Bearcat (talk) 15:56, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

December 2017

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Promo Direct, from its old location at User:Imshakal/Promo Direct. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. KGirl ^{(Wanna chat?)} 13:05, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Promo Direct (January 20)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by The Drover's Wife was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Promo Direct and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Promo Direct, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Imshakal! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Steel design. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] MrOllie (talk) 12:40, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
